The course gave me fresh perspectives on the science of well-being. I enjoyed the studies on how our brain works and on happiness. It helped me make another step towards a more satisfying and happy life. I’m more than happy to share my knowledge and discoveries with my clients in my training programmes, but also in supervision, coaching and mentoring if necessary.

Japanese ‘Ma’ – a pause full of possibilities
#000001
In Japanese Ma can be translated as “gap”, “space”, “pause”. In traditional Japanese arts and culture, ma refers to the artistic interpretation of an empty space and is often as important as the rest of an artwork. MA is in the purposeful pauses in a speech which make words stand out. Ma is in the silence between the notes which make the music.

Examples of ma appear in this old poem:

Walls with windows and doors form the house,

though the space within them is the essence of the house.

The space between creates the frame,

Mindfulness ehk teadvelolek on ‘kohal olemine’. Mitte olevikus ega minevikus uitamine, aga olevikuhetke iga oma rakuga kogemine.

Teadlikku tennist mängides olen õppinud ennast inimesena tervikuna paremini tundma. Kas ma mängin turvalist mängu või olen riskija tüüp? Kas ma kiirustan pallile vastu või ootan kannatlikult õige tabamise hetke ära? Sageli märkan, et tennises avalduv mängudünaamika laieneb kogu mu elule – olen kiire, mõnikord liiga kärsitu; mõnikord paelub mind võidusoov, teinekord naudin lihtsalt mängu heas seltskonnas.

Kui Sinu hobiks on jooksmine, on Sul kindlasti häid kogemusi, kuidas joostes ‘kohal olemist’ treenida ja kuidas sellest kogemusest õpitut ellu laiemalt integreerida. Iseenesest mõjub fraas ‘joostes kohal olemine’ ilmeka paradoksina – joosta ja samal ajal kohal.
